The last post is spot on.....the UAE team had the resposibility of straightening their boy, seeing as he was letting a giro he had in the bag go up the road. Remember Yates was virtual leader by only about 17 seconds at the top of Finestre so that giro was still salvageable even if Yates linked with Wout, they still had Sestriere to cut into Yates's lead if they had not brought him back at that point. So yes...UAE DS blew it.

I agree that he probably could win the Vuelta if he were to enter but he or probably more Matxin thought more of long term effects of doing three GTs in the span of six months and then having to do the Tour again in July. He probably would shorten his career considerably doing such huge efforts so close together. I'd say he's better off saving that ambitious triple for 3 or 4 years down the line, after he has already secured at least another 2 Tours, after all he's still only 25. He can attempt that at 28 or 29 when he woyld be even stronger, i don't think he's done growing yet.
